BikePure role model Christoph Sauser (SUI) was crowned World Champions at the UCI Mountain Bike Marathon World Championships in Montello, Italy, on Sunday, 26th June. In front of huge crowds, Sauser, already Marathon World Champion in 2007 and Olympic cross-country World Champion in 2008, once again claimed the rainbow jersey. He covered the 115.7 km in 4:24:48, finishing 3m10 in front of Jaroslav Kulhavy (CZE). Last year’s silver medallist, Mirko Celestino (ITA), took the bronze medal.
To have such a high profile athlete, ride with pride and honour is great for our sport.
The 2011 UCI Mountain Bike Marathon World Championships were raced in hot, sunny conditions, drawing a large crowd of enthusiastic spectators. Following the tradition, two popular races and children’s events were organised on Saturday with more than 2’000 athletes participating in Montello throughout the weekend.
